Theymos might get a paper to turn over all logs, even if he is in another country, they do help each other out. 5 million in loss is a great reason to do so.
Forum accounts can't always be directly tied to BTCST accounts though.

I think we need to stop perpetuating the $5 million urban legend. Blockchain analysis in the 1DkyBEKt5S2GDtv7aQw6rQepAvnsRyHoYM thread points to it being a SilkRoad address, so it's doubtful pirate ever had that many funds under control. with 459 accounts (23 of which are probably sock puppets), that would be an average holding of $11,467. Yes some accounts have been stated to be higher than that, but I find it hard to believe that there would be as many people as gullible as a barnyard animal to get an actual balance that high (maybe a virtual balance, but not coins transferred).

There was a guy here selling pirate debt last week which totally amounted to somewhere in the lower six figures (US).

To date, I haven't received one of these emails.
I wouldn't wonder if they visit you in person.

I think it was already proven that he owes about $5.5-6.0 million (depending on BTC/USD exchange rate) but the amount he received from people is somewhere around $1-2 million. But that is a lot of money nevertheless.

Our family was terrorized by Homeland Security. Read all about it here: http://www.jmwagner.com/ and http://www.burtw.com/ Any donations to help us recover from the $300,000 in legal fees and forced donations to the Federal Asset Forfeiture slush fund are greatly appreciated!

It's a ponzi, that made 7% weekly debt with 0% real profit.

Actually, that sound believable since he did collect a lot of coins in the $2-$5/btc range. At the time it wasn't a lot of money.

The printing press heralded the end of the Dark Ages and made the Enlightenment possible, but it took another three centuries before any country managed to put freedom of the press beyond the reach of legislators. So it may take a while before cryptocurrencies are free of the AML-NSA-KYC surveillance plague.

All I can say is that this is Bitcoin. I don't believe it until I see six confirmations.

The SEC is investigating ZEEK rewards (see: http://www.sec.gov/divisions/enforce/claims/zekerewards.htm ) and because Zeek rewards has been discussed on this forum as a possible explanation for the exact date BTCST defaulted, the SEC could be investigating a possible association.
